We have all types of food here in this area, but a few staples that you must try before watching that Abilene city limits sign disappear in your rear view mirror

Now Blomkamp’s made Chappie, a film where that’s literally true in the form of a police robot given the gift of human consciousness. The result is one giant metaphor for itself; a story of the world’s first true artificial intelligence and how it is almost corrupted by violence, presented in a movie where any semblance of serious consideration of what it means to be alive is drowned out by gunfire, explosions, and macho posing.

http://keanradio.com/star-wars-1-review-jason-aaron-john-cassaday-marvel/#commentsMon, 12 Jan 2015 18:00:02 +0000Dylan Toddhttp://comicsalliance.com/?p=115306Continue reading…]]>Star Wars and Marvel Comics have a long history. A Marvel adaptation of the original sci-fi-fantasy film appeared in April 1977, a month before A New Hope dominated multiplexes in May of the same year. The success of the film as well as the comics led to a volume of over 100 issues over a nine-year span, featuring stories about what happened to the heroes of the Rebellion between their big screen adventures.

Following Marvel parent Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, this week sees the return of the Star Wars Universe to the Marvel banner, with a new ongoing series from Jason Aaron and John Cassaday launching on Wednesday. It's a strong debut from an A-list creative team who manages to capture the feel of George Lucas's film A New Hope while still taking advantage of the entirety of the Saga.

http://keanradio.com/ant-man-one-review-nick-spencer-rosanas/#commentsWed, 07 Jan 2015 16:00:56 +0000Steve Morrishttp://comicsalliance.com/?p=114563Continue reading…]]>This week sees Nick Spencer, Ramon Rosanas, Jordan Boyd and Travis Lanham launch a new book over at Marvel in the shape of Ant-Man. Featuring the Scott Lang version of the size-changing hero, the series is pitched as being about a C-List Avenger trying to turn around his post-Avengers career and get a new job, so he can provide for his daughter, Cassie. He has an upset ex-wife, a crappy apartment, a criminal past, and no hopes – and that's how the series begins.

With this first issue of the new series - which is on sale now - Spencer takes the jokey tone of his Superior Foes of Spider-Man series and downplays things significantly. While Foes was about villains trying to keep a criminal career going, here we have a hero trying to keep a heroic career going. Or, well, any career at all. It's a familiar concept for anybody reading Marvel at the moment, as most of their solo books are about the very same idea, played out in different ways.

It was a busy and productive year for the industry, and one we’re pleased to celebrate with what we’re certain will be an uncontroversial, unenumerated list of awards that will prompt only resounding agreement and unbroken fellowship amongst our readers in the comments below.

Schlitterbahn, NRH2O, and Hurricane Harbor at Six Flags are the places that come to mind. But the newest one, Splash Kingdom Waterpark Wild West in Hudson Oaks, is a little closer to home. So I decided to check it out.

His most recent cinematic venture was to see the early summer blockbuster, 'Godzilla' with his friend and classmate, John.

He will take advantage of any opportunity to go to the theater, and then give his opinion of the film he watched to anyone who will listen. As a result, we get a review of 'Maleficent' from the perspective of a young teen.

He's won the awards, sells out his shows, plays all the big festivals, and has recorded a "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" CD. It's been a road of steady progress since the beginning. Like with any musician, this requires some luck, but credit Bowen's work ethic, talent, and the fact that he is a really good guy for most of his career success.

Now, with the release of "The Given", Bowen has made the next logical step in growing his music and signed with Nashville label BNA.
